Spend My Money For Me

Here is my ride. These are the things I have discovered that are done to it so far.

1. K&N Cold Air Intake
2. Lowered
3. Tint - Coming off to legal tint

My first upgrade is already chosen. It will be black 20X9 & 20X10 ZL1 rims
I am also going to have the oil changed to make sure its synthetic, diff fluid changed, fuel injectors cleaned, and the air filter on the K&N replaced since I am not sure what all has been done before I got the car.

I will have about $3,000 after this is all done to spend on upgrades so give me your opinion what you would do if it was your ride and wallet.

A few rules though, I have a factory warranty I will to keep, FOR NOW, I don't want to do any cam or internal upgrades yet.

Thanks for the input in advance.

i looked at exhaust but the one that was recommended (corsa) sounded real raspy when revved in the videos and I didn't like that

Paint your current mufflers black
An the GM dual mode exhaust is a good option if you can find one used normally 600 or so plus shipping

Splitter:is on the front lower front fascia creates downforce not as pronounced as the ZL1
Bushings: in the rear suspension keeps the tires planted and better driver feel

I agree, dump the K&N.

Forget an exhaust for now, it does nothing but change sound. Your better of going with header and cats (and a tune if you want) as that will change the tone as well as add HP. You can also go a bit cheaper and just go solo HF cats. This will also give you sound and extra HP and you don't need a tune.

If you decide you still want more sound then shop an exhaust.
